Our Bushland Management team manages a variety of exciting projects that have a positive impact on our community, from our beloved tree planting days, grant projects, and working with professional animal rehabilitators.
Cumberland Plain Improvement Project and Nursery Upgrade
Council has received $5.06 million in funding to support the greening of our City through the NSW Government’s WestInvest program.
Fish Habitat Resnagging Project
Penrith Council and the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) restored fish habitat at Emu Green Reserve and Fowler Reserve with this award-winning project.
Habitat Restoration Event Series
The Habitat Restoration event series focuses on eight bushland reserves within the Penrith Local Government Area (LGA) which contain one or more threatened flora species. We’re inviting community members and volunteers to come along and plant trees and remove weeds to help restore habitat in these areas.
Penrith plants feeding Western Sydney Zoo animals
Penrith Council has teamed up with the Sydney Zoo in Western Sydney for an innovative project involving the collection of branches and shrubs containing leaves, barks and shoots from both native plant and weed species to provide additional snacks for the zoo’s animals. Council is the first council to donate weeds found in their Local Government Area.
Saving our Species: Persoonia nutans
We’ve partnered with the Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) to work towards securing the future of the endangered Nodding Geebung (Persoonia nutans), under the NSW Government’s Saving our Species (SoS) program. Check out what we’ve been doing to help conserve this species.
Trees for Mum and Trees for Dad
Our beloved Trees for Mum and Trees for Dad events are two of our most anticipated community events.
